Gorgeous Couple’s Sweet Love novel Chapter 125

Ellis sobbed and said with his arms around my neck, "I'm not six years old yet. You left me for five years for the first time, and then more than half a year for the second. You have been absent in almost my entire life and I thought you didn't like me and had abandoned me."

I looked up at Benjamin frantically. He was staring at me without saying a word, and he didn't intend to say anything to Ellis either.

Although I had two children, I was a novice mother. I didn't know how to coax my children. Fortunately, Ellis changed his question and asked, "Mom, where is my sister?"

I laughed and said, "Your sister? She's at a relative's house now. I'll take you to see her when you grow up to be a good brother."

Puzzled, Ellis asked, "How can I be a good brother?"

I kissed him on the cheek and said, "Be what you are like now and keep it that way."

I sat up and held him in my arms. More than ten minutes later, Benjamin ordered, "Ellis, go to your grandmother."

Ellis refused. "I want to stay with mom."

Benjamin said with a hard tone, "Be good. Mom has to go to work."

After Ellis left, Benjamin said indifferently to me sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be willing to spend a lot of effort to make him happy."

I shot him a scathing look and said nothing.

After leaving the Dunn family, Benjamin asked me while driving me to work. He asked faintly, "You are sure you wanna compete in the bidding?"

I stared at him and asked with a smile, "Yeah, you are gonna give it to me?"

"That's not something for me to give. I can give you a few fat contracts from the Dunn family but forget about the Weier."

After a moment of silence, I said with a smile, "The project of the Weier family is an opportunity to make a name for myself in these years. Although the contract of the Dunn family can do the same, do you think I will accept the charity of the Dunn family?"

"You are trying to bite off more than you can chew. I don't wanna have to clean up the mess you left behind" Benjamin's face was gloomy. "I don't care how you do with the Dunn contracts but step away from the Weier," he continued.

All of a sudden, I asked, "Do you want the project?"

Benjamin was stunned, and the speed of the car suddenly accelerated. After a long time, I heard him say, "The Heaney family needs the investment, which is worth billions of dollars."

I asked flatly, "Oh? So you are fighting for the Heaney family? Will they marry you their daughter if you get it for them?"

Benjamin glanced at me and said, "You don't have to say these things to piss me off."

I tilted my head to look at the silent Benjamin and said flatly, "Teresa is a 34- year- old woman. She literally has provoked every single one she could just for what? Love? The funny thing is that she still doesn't realize the reason she could do all this is that she's got the three families behind her. By the way, do you know why Zack is unwilling to talk to Teresa now?"

Benjamin was silent. I said with a smile, "On one hand, it is indeed because of me, but more of it is a warning from Laurelie."

I explained, "Laurelie is a very difficult person to deal with. She will spare no efforts to deal with the people she hates, especially a pretentious person like Teresa. So when she learned that Teresa likes Zack, she warned Zack not to have anything to do with Teresa in the future."

Benjamin stopped at a traffic light and stared at me. I said, "Do you know why Zack did what Laurelie said? Because Laurelie likes Zack too. Teresa has got herself in s*it up to her neck."

Benjamin pursed his lips and suddenly smiled. "And that's the only reason he's been like this? There's something more to it, you know it and I know it. It is not only that Laurelie likes Zack, it's also the other way around."

He was a smart man, so he could see through some things. Benjamin smiled and asked, "Do you like Zack then?"

I was about to answer, but Benjamin said, "It is very easy for you to make do with what you are given. The marriage between you and Steve was perfect proof. So even if you don't like Zack, you will compromise sooner or later, but... Zack is not Steve."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked in surprise.

"Zack wants not only you as a person but also your heart. If he doesn't have all of it, Zack will not compromise and be with you." Benjamin hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if he will protect you and he chose you that day, you will never get him, because you are my child's mother, and you are my woman. He knows what that means and he needs to back the f*ck off."

The person who hated Zack the most was Benjamin, and the person who knew him the best was also Benjamin. I closed my eyes and said, "I always thought that a man like Zack, who is lonely and aloof, charming but silent, is like a snow lotus. The one who was suitable for him must be the beautiful woman who is passionate, gentle, shy but generous." "Well, you think highly of him in your heart." Benjamin sneered at me, and then said, "You're praising yourself. After all, you were in a relationship with him, but not for long."

I darkened my face. Benjamin continued ironically, "You can keep on wasting his time. You've already done that for seven years, why bother with two more?"

Benjamin said that I wasted his time. I pursed my lips and said sadly, "Benjamin, he has never been a back-up."

"Easy for you to say when it's not your time being wasted. Of course, it's not impossible to solve the problem."

I laughed mockingly and said, "Oh, the solution you're talking about is to get back to you? To make Zack think that we're very happy?"

Benjamin said indifferently, "That's one way to put it."

I snorted. Benjamin laughed indifferently. He started the car and drove me to the company. He looked at the Shears Group next door and then at my small company. He said, "How generous of Joel."

I smiled and said, "Joel is my friend, why can't he help me?"

Benjamin sized me up and mentioned what happened last night, "What were you doing at the bar alone, anyway? If you were feeling lonely, all you needed to do is call me."

I leaned towards him and said, "You may not be able to satisfy me."

Benjamin suddenly reached out to hold my hand and put it on his lower body. He said hoarsely, "I haven't touched a woman for half a year. You can't say for sure what I have in my pants now."
